St. Paul daily globe., 1887-11-26

matter is agitated the better it will be
for the boys. 1t is simply an eXtOrtiOn
that is not practiced on any other class
of people, and while they tameiy sub
nit and encourage it, by paying, it will
always exist.
"ScOttie" comes back again, after
long silence. with an interesting letter
as usual, and wants the boys to help
him out in his original proposition for
supper and ball about Christmas. Ynot
thinks il is a grand idea. The boys will
all be home about that time, and what
would be nicer than to take your wives
and sweetheartS out for pleasant social
evening? Surely they are entitled TO it,
the poor. dear ones who have spent
nearly a year alone. Boys, you can't
do too much for them. Get them to-
gether, allow them to get acquainted
with each other, and it may be the
means of forming lasting friendship
between families who never knew each
other before.
ANTE Lucin" comes to the front with
a very interesting letter. We don't un-
derstand his mild boycott of Jim Wake
field at Sauk Center, but perhaps he
has reasons. His flOwery description of
his trip with Sam to the GLOBE tower
elated over the fact that he made the
trip without producing his milage book,
or 30 cents. lie should be very careful
about such expressions. The interstate
commerce law makes it fine of $1,000
to pass any one. He will get the GLOBE
man in trouble.
Next comes Traveller" with letter
chuck full of good sense and mild roaStS.
His mileage theory is very good, the
boys would be glad to hear from him
often.
Sam Slick" tells a heart-rending
story. and it shows some of the diSa-
greeablc features of a C. It's life. We
can almost see the tears running down
SANS cheeks.
PERSONAL NOTES.
c. f. Porter. with Good ear Rubber
company. is very elastic. He stretches
all over Minnesota and Dakota. He has
just started out on his last trip for this
wear. Jan. will occur the greatest
event of his life. On that date he will
daughters, and all the boys will join in
wishing him the best of luck with his
New Years gift.
W. J. Lawrence, with Bishop Il Co.,
was making the Breckenridge division
last week on a freight train. He has
been in one or two collisions, and is
naturally afraid. He was riding in the
cabOoSe and dOSeing, about half asleep,
when he imagined train was coming
up behind. He jumped off and took to
the woods. Before his companions
could stop him. one of them, q prOmi-
nent c. t., says he did not get to a town
for three days after.
Ben Baer, the great Minneapolis cigar
man. is making towns Oh the Fergus
Falls division this week. Ben is a great
rustler, but he is not as fierce as his
name would indicate unless he has a
full house: then look ont for him.
John Law, with Beaupre, KeOgh &
Co., spent Thanksgiving evening at
BarneSville, and attended the hop given
by the shop employees at the Depot
hotel. John was one of the greatest at
fractions on the floor when ladies
choice came in. 1t was wonderful TO
see the rush that was made for him; he
was nearly lost in the shuttle.
George Pingree returned from two
weeks trip in Dakota TO spend Thanks
giving with his wife at Fergus Falls.
They are both guests of mine host Hall,
of the Grand, one of the best hotels in
the country and veritable home to a
great many of the commercial travel
erS.
Charlie BrunsOn, the ''OratOr of the
SaUk Valley" took his turkey with
friends at Sauk Center. YNOT.
